Disk Sander Help

Hi everybody. I recently bought a 12” one hp.Woodfast disk sander. I will mainly be using it to sand turning segments using a shop-made jig, but I realize that this machine must be capable of a lot more. I’m sure that many of you out there could give me some good tips on how to get the most out of this machine. I am making all kinds of stuff, not just turning. Any advice would be well appreciated. Below is a photo of it

stefang, I use mine for so many different things… I really like it when I am putting a radious to the corners of my projects, squaring off small pieces of wood, touching up my botched miters, forming handles for mallets and other tools, champhrering the ends of dowels, etc…

Thanks much guys for your efforts. I have already been using my Delta 6” sanding disk for quite a while now for most of the tasks mentioned. I am probably asking for the impossible. Maybe I am the Don Quixote of woodworking.
